Schultz' family re-union

  And not just Schultz', Mike Green's too...

Capitals Insider:

"It's going to be nice to play in front of people who haven't seen me play for a while," Schultz said. It's going to be his first game in his hometown since he played juniors with the Hitmen. Schultz is also expecting 15-20 friends and family members, all of whom will be seated in the same section.

Mike Green, also a native of Calgary, said he has rented out a suite at Saddledome and is expecting 25 (or more) friends and family. He also said he's hoping to get home for a few hours to visit with his folks.

And Bruce Boudreau will be using new line combinations I've been preaching for quite a while re-uniting Semin with Backstrom (they were very successful in playoffs) and Ovechkin with Fedorov.

Ovechkin-Fedorov-Clark
Laich-Backstrom-Semin
Fleischmann-Nylander-Bradley
Brashear-Steckel-Fehr/Gordon

Morrisonn-Green
Sloan-Schultz
Erskine-Jurcina

I really don't get it, why recalling Sloan from Hershey Bears instead of Karl Alzner or Lepisto? Maybe it's a salary cap considerations or just giving the guy a chance, plus he is from Calgary area. How much did we know about Lepisto until he was recalled?
